The Sound of Chaos
Chaos theory and its little cousin – strange attractors – have been around for a long time. Pictures of chaotic systems and strange attractors abound, and they are a mainstay for computer math experimentalists, although still in the minor leagues … Continue reading

SeaDragon – Microsoft does something right
In the past year, I’ve experimented with different ways to visualize non-Euclidean tessellations. Mainly, I’ve made movies with simple zooms or animations. But sometimes I think I want something more interactive, so that viewers can explore tessellations as they wish, … Continue reading
Math with a soundtrack
There’s something about music or a soundtrack that really enhances what would otherwise be just a silent movie. So I plan to add music to my visualizations as time and inspiration allow. Here’s an example that I did a week … Continue reading
Mating movie
I recently stumbled across this mating movie at Curt McMullen’s site. I used to play a lot with fractals that were hybrids between quadratic Julia sets. This is apparently a movie of one of these matings evolving. To the best … Continue reading
Classroom treat
I just got word that a UK professor was going to show these movies to her hyperbolic geometry class today, as a treat for the last class of the term. Reminds me of when I was in public school and … Continue reading
Intro
I’ve set myself the task of creating a movie that shows a hyperbolic tessellation. This project has been brewing in one form or another for years, but I’ve finally got the time and motivation to at least get started on … Continue reading
